Ok so i see dokuro up there for vita just like i said. Don’t know how you guys missed it on the blogcast. But where is jet set radio for ps vita? Sega announced right here on the blog that the vita version would be out oct 16th. Please clarify someone…. I really want it.

I’m soo excited to get Doom 3 DFG edition for PS3 and Silent Hill: Book of Memories for ps vita as i already pre-ordered it on amazon website few days ago. I been waiting long time for Doom game for PS3 and also been waited for silent hill book of memories to come out after I got the ps vita system when the ps vita system came out. However, I had no idea there’s doom part 1, 2, 3, doom 3 resurrection of evil and the lost missions until i saw the drop just now. I’m also already going to get littlebigplanet for vita as soon as i get it in the mail.

@35: I highly doubt we’ll see Suikoden… it’s been forever and we don’t even have Suikoden II and no explanation as to why. Konami just doesn’t seem to care about Suikoden fans. I understand legally it can’t always work out, but they should say so. Like Capcom said with Mega Man Legends 1 & 2.

Wow…..terrible update this week. The only things even relatively interesting are Of Orcs and Men (which is overpriced and with no demo) and 007 Legends (which i plan to rent from gamefly because psn is overcharging).

I would say that i’m hopeful for the PS Plus free game but i’d be lying considering how crappy the last couple weeks of games have been.

Yay Dokuro is coming out before RO :) I hope it’s $14.99 with a PS+ incentive!
@35, NISA said on Facebook that Mugen Souls was delayed till October 17th for retail. And yeah, I doubt Suikoden II will ever come out on PSN :( We didn’t even the compilation of SK I and II on PSP.
